Are pink/white open sores that are often seen with a white edge. The ulcers are often infected secondarily by other bacteria and fungi.

Ulcers are common among newly imported goldfish. If you see the signs of ulcers on your goldfish, immediately test the tank water for ammonia and nitrate. You should also quickly do a large water change to get the toxins out of the water as quickly as possible.
